FTA Bonus on Highlevel Games means nearly Autowin

[poweewee]

I agree with the topic title! It's not really an autowin, but I can't describe how large an advantage P1 has, especially if he knows what he's doing (which is usually the case in high level play).

Ever since I kept track of my records, the following are my stats (all against super-titans):
As P1, 30 wins, 5 losses
As P2, 16 wins, 17 losses

I suppose I could do a chi-square test here, but it is not too difficult to see how much easier it is to be P1.

I'm sure OML is already thinking of ways to reduce FTA (such as 8 wits to start with for P2), and I am really curious as to how this affects FTA. I wish I was in that beta...LOL
